Chapter 522： War is always dead

Now, before reaching the level of World War I, World War I almost failed, and finally came back, and it will be the same in World War II!

Churchill was firm. He told the people present that he hadn't failed yet. How could he surrender at this time?

Petain looked at Churchill, and his eyes contained many emotions.

Little brother, this is different from World War I!

Petain is not Wei Gang. In the past two years, Petain has been an ambassador in Spain, and he has seen a lot clearly, for example, the combat effectiveness of German armored forces, for example, the combat capabilities of ground forces coordinated by aviation.

Although Petain is old, he is not confused. He has always been a man who dares to innovate. Just before World War I, he realized how important the artillery coverage is before the attack began, and he advocated for the troops to be equipped with more suppression. artillery.

This era has changed. The Germans took the lead in the transformation of their troops. The German armored divisions showed great combat capabilities, and France simply couldn't stop it.

Petain is already old. Over the years, Petain has seen a lot. If there is victory, there will be failure.

France has no chance of winning. Even if he can see a little hope of victory, Petain will not say such a thing. Petain has seen it now. He continues to resist and surrenders now. The only difference is France. How many dead people.

Since it is doomed to fail, why let the blood of French soldiers flow in vain?

The revival of France cannot be achieved through military victory, but should be the result of the suffering of the motherland and its descendants, just like Germany's surrender.

At the same time, the armistice is not a punishment for defeat, but a new beginning, which is a necessary condition to ensure the eternal survival of the immortal France.

This is Petain's view.

But now, not many people support Petain.

Petain was just saying his own point of view. After he had finished speaking, Churchill suddenly appeared and told him sternly that the war had not yet reached the point of defeat!

Facing Churchill, Petain remembered himself when he was young, braving the enemy’s bullets and crawling on the ground with the frontline fighters, letting the soldiers believe that as the commander-in-chief, he would not only let his troops go to death, he wanted With the troops.

Maybe, I am old and ambitious?

In the end, Petain did not speak, stood up, turned around, and left the meeting.

Petain’s departure made others breathe a sigh of relief. After all, Petain’s authority is too great. If Petain insists on surrendering, then it’s hard to say for others. None of the people present has more seniority than him. Old, even Prime Minister Renault is not as qualified as him.

"Now, we have to redistribute our troops." Wei Gang said: "We are in the southern part of the Germans and organized a line of defense to protect our country."

Just now, Wei Gang’s speech to Marshal Petain was quite shocked. After all, Marshal Petain is a household name throughout France. Although Wei Gang is only a dozen years younger than Marshal Petain, he is still an old guy, but , After all, Wei Gang has no qualifications.

Although Wei Gang also participated in the First World War and served as the chief of staff of France's Supreme Commander Ferdinand Foch, he really has no heroic deeds that the French can remember.

In many cases, he also admires Marshal Petain, and now Marshal Petain wants to surrender! The will in Wei Gang's heart has actually begun to waver, but now, he is still in the main battle faction, and he has been beaten by Germany. He has not yet woken up. He has to hit the head with the second stick to wake up.

Resistance is useless, surrender is the right way!

Now, the Anglo-French coalition forces besieged in the north have disastrous consequences. Wei Gang knew that if you want to preserve most of the southern part of France, you need to set up a new line of defense in the south of the current front.

Wei Gang’s words attracted the attention of many people. He used a baton to point to the map and said: "We have established a new line of defense between the Somme and Eine. The advancement of the tanks and these several battles have proved that our offensive capabilities are insufficient, but we are still very confident in defense. We are stepping up the production of new anti-tank guns and striving to serve as soon as possible."

Obstruct the attack of the German armored forces! Relying on landmines on the one hand and anti-tank guns on the other, France still has hope!

"At the same time, while we are setting up this line of defense, we must also set up a second line of defense behind this line of defense. On the front lines of the Somme, Oise and Eine Rivers, we will guard against danger and protect them at critical times. To blow up the bridge, we must also protect our southern safety."

"At the same time, we have to launch the army, call up the reserve team, and switch to the wartime system. I believe that we can still block the German attack and slowly turn to the counterattack."

Although under the command of Wei Gang, he had just suffered a defeat, but it was the main British force that was lost. Anyway, Wei Gang was not the only one who lost the battle under the Germans.

Now, Wei Gang's idea is to set up two lines of defense. By using the various rivers and moats in France as a fortress, to block the Germans from going south and save half of France, his idea is unanimously approved.

Listening to his plan, Churchill was already annoyed.

"What about the army besieged in the north? The French army should dispatch thirty divisions to rescue them!" Churchill said.

As long as the French army dispatched thirty divisions ~www.novelhall.com~ to attract the attention of Germany, then, at least the British army can successfully withdraw to Dunkirk. Now, Churchill is no longer willing to cooperate with his own France. My colleagues tell the truth, these people are too stupid.

"We now have only 71 divisions." Wei Gang said: "We are not enough to build a line of defense. Moreover, it has been proved that we can't rescue the army there. Hope God bless them."

Wei Gang's words aroused Churchill's anger: "Are you going to abandon them? Those fighters are the most elite troops! If you abandon them, then we have no future!"

On the battlefield, when necessary, some people must be abandoned. Now, Wei Gang is going to throw away the British and French forces in the encirclement, which is still unacceptable to Churchill.

"I'm sorry." Wei Gang said bluntly: "War always kills people."

War is killing people. Britain and France have been appeased for 20 years. They just don't want to die. But now, when the war really comes, they can't accept this reality.

That also has to be accepted. Since they cannot be saved, they can only be left to fend for themselves.
